You don't break habits, you only replace them with new behaviors

People think you break habits. You don't break habits. What you do is replace one behavior with a different behavior.

This is a widely accepted principle in behavioral therapy known as habit replacement or competing response training.

Mitch Trubisky being the 20th best quarterback in Madden with a 75 rating is fair

Trubisky was ranked the 20th best quarterback with a rating of 75. That's okay.

Mitch Trubisky's subsequent career trajectory (being benched/moving to a backup role) suggests 75 was a very reasonable, if not slightly generous, rating.

Dennis Rodman is a top pick to storm Area 51 because of his diplomatic experience in North Korea

My first pick, I'll just take Dennis Rodman because he went to North Korea. He can figure out diplomatic stuff. He will be able to talk to the aliens.

The take is inherently subjective as it involves a hypothetical raid on a secret government facility.

Sam Cassell would be the perfect athlete to storm Area 51 because the aliens would think he's one of them

My second one, I guess I'll go with Sam Cassell. Just because, you know, maybe if there is any type of, like, maybe these guys are like us, they'll see Sam Cassell and be like, all right, that's an ally.

This is a comedic take based on an NBA meme and cannot be factually verified.

People who leave hate comments online are 'keystroke bullies' who wouldn't say the same things to your face

There are those people that just sit in their mother's basement... find fault with other people and disparage the efforts of others. I call them keystroke bullies. And you know something? They would never say that to you in an elevator.

This is an observation about human behavior and the nature of the internet, making it subjective.

I never board a plane without looking the pilot in the eye to judge who is flying the aircraft

When I get on a plane, everybody gets on a plane and they just step on and turn right... I never do that. I get on and look left because I want to look at who's flying that airplane. Well, every single time I have never gotten on a plane that I didn't look the pilot in the eye.

This is a claim about Dr. Phil's own habits, which cannot be verified by outside parties.

Cleveland fans felt personally rejected by LeBron James when he left for Miami

Number one need in all people is acceptance. Number one fear is rejection. [LeBron] rejected the cities. I'm out of here. So they all felt rejected. We're not good enough. You're leaving us. So that hurt. So they really had a love-hate relationship with him.

This is a psychological interpretation of a public event, making it inherently subjective.
